PS2 Growlanser VI: Precarious World .dat files

Post by Risae »

Dear Community,

i'm currently trying to access/unpack the .dat files from an ISO of my PS2 game Growlanser VI: Precarious World.

Using Xpert i extracted the following files from the ISO:

Code: Select all

Now i tried using quickBMS to unpack the .dat files using different Scripts - none seem to work.

A person named "Somebody Special/Fluffykitty" was able to remove the English Voice Acting and replace it with the Japanese for the Growlanser 2,3 and 5 games - So it seems like he was somehow able to access the .dat files - sadly i couldn't find any contact information so would've asked this person directly how he managed to do it.

The file GL6_FILE.DAT is only 23MB in size, i've uploaded it here: http://www65.zippyshare.com/v/UM3qJdDo/file.html

Do you need additional information/files? Thank you for your assistance.
